I want to know the different types of elements that comsol has, what elements do comsol use to eliminate the hourglass and shear lock?

Does comsol use reduced integration?

Thanks in advance

COMSOL does not use reduced integration and therefore does not need hourglass control. To avoid shear locking in solid mechanics use the default quadratic elements.

Hi,

I need to use the reduced integration (one-point integration) in COMSOL and specify the hourglass control for that. Is there any way to make it in COMSOL 5.2a?

Best regards,
Masoud
